Monitoring patients with abdominal aortic aneurysms before and after surgery

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This observational registry collects imaging and clinical data from patients with abdominal aortic aneurysms undergoing endovascular repair and those in a serial monitoring program. The study utilizes ViTAA aortic mapping technology to assess patients at multiple centers across the US and Canada. Participants include those scheduled for endovascular repair and those who do not yet meet the criteria for surgery but require ongoing monitoring.
